Weekend Winners Club

.

Saturday, July 2, 2022. Churchill Downs is always a great venue for summer racing, and today is no exception.  CD kicks off the weekend with a slew of stakes races, some great 3yo races, a few MSW’s, and 12 races total, featuring the Stephen Foster G2. .

The 12 race card begins at 12:45PM, stakes racing begins at about 3:25pm with a  short field 3yo filly race, followed by the American Derby for 3yos.  The Foster will go off at around 5:50pm with 7 horses slated. Weather is warm and cloudy with not much chance of rain. Get today’s Free Grid.

R10 5:47ET 9f D SFoster-G2 4 UP 

The short field doesn’t make for great betting, and looks like a 3 horse race between Americanrevolution, a great name for this time of year, Olympiad, a great name for anytime, and Mandaloun, last year’s Kentucky Derby runner up.  Maybe Caddo River can get into the super.

.

Other assorted long shot specials:

R2 1:16ET 5.5f D Alw 148000b 3 UP 

Can I get an Asmussen trainee with the high PF at Churchill at 8-1? Hopefully.

.

R3 1:47ET 6f D MSW 2 YO  120000

Can I get any of the 5 horses listed at 12-1 at double digits post time? I hope so.

Another Asmussen trainee at 8-1, and a Shug runner at 15-1 ML.

R5 2:51ET 6.5f D OClm 80000n1x 3 YO 

Spankster will be tough to beat, but remember it takes 2 for an exacta, 3 for a trifecta, and 4 for a superfecta. Prayforpeace at 15-1, Atta Boy Anthony at 50-1? Yes please.

.

R6 3:23ET 8f D Tepin-B200k 3 YO F

4 fillies, and will probably be won by the favorite. Ouch.

.

R7 3:55ET 8.5f D AmercnDbyB200k 3 YO 

Contrary to what the ML odds indicate, this one is wide open, including:

O P Firecracker 10-1, great name for this time of year.

Search Engine and Kitodan at 12-1 ML.

.

R9 5:16ET 6.5f D KllysLndgL160k 3 UP 

After skipping the 5 filly Fleur de Lis G2, we get 7 horses here hopefully.

Kneedeepinsnow 8-1 and Startdfromdabottom 30-1 are the best value plays.

.

That’s enough for now, do the rest on your own. Good luck!
